To assess performance on individual Table VIII gunnery engagements, the first- run scores of 109 tank crews from three Army National Guard (ARNG) armor battalions were averaged and then ordinally ranked for difficulty. For all three battalions, three of the four engagements found to have the lowest average scores (highest difficulty rankings) required machine gun (coax or Caliber.)

6 50) employment either alone or in combination with the main gun. In the remaining engagement of this foursome, crews were required to fire at multiple targets with the main gun using the gunner's auxiliary sight. Two of the three engagements found to have the highest average scores (lowest difficulty rankings) involved presentation of only a single target. These results ca be used by ARNG armor trainers to help maximize the payoff from their training time investment by focusing on the engagements found to be the most difficult, thereby enhancing the probability of first-run crew qualification on Table VIII.

To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of homestation tank gunnery training, the Army National Guard (ARNG) is encouraging the use of training devices. To this end, work is under way to develop a time-compressed, device-based tank gunnery training strategy for ARNG use at the company level.

9 This strat- egy will recommend the training of specific gunnery tasks at the expense of others to promote efficiency without sacrificing existing performance standards. This report identifies specific gunnery engagements that should be emphasized during device- based, as well as tank-based, training to enhance first-run crew qualification rates on Tank Table VIII. The research was conducted by the Army Research Insti- tute Reserve Component Training Research Unit, whose mission is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Reserve Component (RC) training through use of the latest in training technology.

10 The research task supporting this mission, "Train Up: Technology-Based RC Training Strategies," is organized under Science and Technology Objective , Unit Training Strategies. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) sponsored this research under a Memorandum of Understanding signed 12 June 1985. Results have been presented to Chief, Training Division, NGB; Chief, Training Division, office of the Chief, Army Reserve; and Special Assistant to the Commanding General, Army Armor Center. EDGAR M.
